<p>I'm just starting out my college search, and I am Definitely interested in majoring in either MT or theatre arts. I've been checking out schools mainly in the nyc and boston areas. . . but here's the thing: my parents arent sold on me just going off and majoring in theatre (i.e. i need a back-up plan) SO. . . i figure i'll make a plan to either minor in theatre education or theatre management or something like that. Can anyone help? What are some schools that have those minors? or double majors? or am i hopeless? Cause i'm having trouble figuring out every college's website? haha thanks!</p>
<p>I can’t give you a specific school in the area but I’m sure there are schools that have that.</p>
<p>Like you, my parent’s weren’t completely sold on me just majoring in MT (they are becoming more and more supportative though) I can tell you that I am a BFA Musical Theatre student and I am pursuing a minor in education. It only consists of 5 classes- 15 credits; 4 education and 1 music education. </p>
<p>A lot of schools have an education minor which will allow you to teach. </p>
<p>I will say that my minor only gives me to ability to teach in the state of Florida in the public school system (6-12th grades only). However, I have the ability to take the Praxis if I wish which will give me the ability to teach in many more states/ US territories.</p>
<p>Here are some schools which offer either a major or minor in theater education:
Wagner, Temple, University of New Hampshire, De Sales, University of Northern Colorado, Illinois State, Viterbo and Ashland. Can you tell that our family has been thinking the same thing LOL.</p>
<p>My D’s friend is studying theatre management at De Paul. I believe Northwestern has a theatre education major.</p>
<p>Emerson has a Theatre Ed major, as well. [Theatre</a> Education, BA](<a href=“Admissions & Aid, Academic Programs, Emerson College”>Admissions & Aid, Academic Programs, Emerson College)</p>
<p>I know that NYU has a degree called Educational Theatre and Eastern Kentucky University has a Theatre Education degree.</p>
